Why Early Access?

Relic Space is a complex and ambitious game, and feedback from the community is hugely important. As a game with significant procedural generation and multiple interacting mechanics, player feedback will be crucial to identify balance issues and bugs. And suggestions from the community will also undoubtedly lead to new content and even new game mechanics.

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

The full version will feature an original single-player storyline, and will also include an additional main faction and diverse new sectors. It will also feature many more ships, equipment and pilot skills as well as more varied procedural missions. The Early Access phase will also see balance and gameplay improvements

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

Since the main storyline does not exist, the focus of the current Early Access version is on procedurally generated missions. Although there is a wide range of ships, equipment, skills and factions, more content is planned before the game will be considered complete. That said, the game is full playable and winnable, and the ability to unlock new abilities and mechanics by upgrading your skills and equipment allows for rewarding runs with many hours of playtime.

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

There will be numerous ways for players to contribute to the development process and join the Early Access community, including primarily the dedicated Discord server.
